How often do you buy a new bow?
 

With all the 06 bows comming out how many here have bought or are going to buy a new bow this nest year. Also how often do you buy a new bow.

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?
 

I buy one every 4 years or so.
I just bought a 05 Switchback to it will be 3 more years for me.
Unless something I just can't live without comes out.

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?
 

I have several bows and wouldn't mind a few more. I might go shoot that switchback xt just to see what changes they made. I doubt I will buy another bow in 06 though. I really like my Switchback.

i bought 1 in 02, 1 in 03, 1 in 04, 4 in 05, and 1 - 06 models so far

I have an 06' Constitution on order that will be used for 3D and spots. I imagine this will be my primary bow to use for everything but hunting. I also just bought a 05' Allegiance. Chances are I will probably sell both the Allegiance, and my Patriot once the late season is over (middle of January) and take the money from those two and buy something else. Maybe an Old Glory.........or Elite Energy? I switch around quite a bit............

Haven't bought a new bow since getting a custom recurve several years ago,but I do manage to lay my hands onone or twousedrecurves every year.In fact, I just got a sweet '68 vintage Wing RedWing Hunter recurve last week. I'd been wanting one for years and the price was right, so... :D

I might wind up with an '06 bow next year but, if I do, it'll be a longbow that I'll make myself.

I won't be getting any more compounds. Can't stand the stuff the manufacturers are putting out these days.

Count me in for a new bow rig every season, that's always part of the new years excitement for me. Looking forward to my new Hoyt TRYKON this year!

just got an '05 Allegiance and '05 Gamemaster but im l likesound ofthat Elite Energy myself.

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?
 

about every five years has been the norm for me. my bows are for mostly hunting only though.i cant keep up with technology these days any way[:@]

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?
 

I just bought a new '05 Switchback a week ago, it had been 5 yrs
since my last new bow and it will probably be a few more yrs before
I get another new one since this Switchback seems to be a great
bow.

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?
 

I buy at least one new bowevery year. Sometimes as many as 4 or 5 in a year.

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?
 

I buy a bow when I need one:D Last time I needed one was 1983 and I'm still shooting it. PSE Vulcan. Wanna see the deer I shot this year with it???;)

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?
 

all bows made for hunting will kill a deer, all that fancy stuff just confuses me

I'm going on 6 years with my feathermax...never felt a need to "upgrade" except for fearing I had outgrown its drawlength. That issue has been resolved...now I have to decide when I want to try 70# draw.

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?
 

I really shouldn't say but since my wife doesn't read these boards, I have bought 5 in the past 12 months, with only 1 of those being in the last 9 months... I had a busy beginning of the year. I am hoping to stay out of the bow shops for the most part for the next 6 months, keep me out of trouble. I doubt I will...

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?
 

I have had mine since 98 a PSE Nova, love it never had any problems what so ever. I got a bigtypical 12 cruising aroundmy blind at my lease that will hopefully bethe next victim. Though technology has come so far since then I am looking to get a new bow for next season. I will definetly keep shooting my Nova, 8 yrs. of shooting almost everyday and I never had to take in for tune up.

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?
 

Last bow I bought was my first bow. Back in '91 or '92, can't remember. I always thought if it ain't broke don't fix it. Couldn't afford that kind of impulsive buying anyways. Have too many other things I want.

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?
 

Well, I'll let you know after I sell my Switchback from '05 (IF anyone's interested).

I will eventually settle in on an "every other year" type of guy. Technology is just too stinking hard to resist sometimes.

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?
 

Every 5-7 years about.

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?
 

4-5 years....and then i buy last years hipe

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?
 

I buy one every few years.

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?
 

I buy a new bow when they come up with one that blows my old one out of the water. It has to considerably better to justify the cost. Roughly every 3 years.

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?
 

I just bought my first new bow this year, I was on a pretty limited budget and decided on a Bear GT32. I haven't hunted with it yet, I'm still getting used to it. It's quite a bit different from the bow I use now--which I think was the first and only one my grandpa bought...I'm pretty sure its older than me.

I don't plan on buying a new bow for a while now yet...I'm sure it'll be aa few years.

RE: How often do you buy a new bow?
 

I use the same Hoyt cam & 1/2 that I bought last year. This is only my 2nd year bowhunting, but I am going to stick with this bow for a while. I am very happy with it.
